"Sous le volcan" by Leslie Mannès: Popular Uprising

Demons, goblins, troubadours, beggars: in the underground, gender-defying society flamboyantly staged by the Belgian artist Leslie Mannès, carnival becomes the spark of a popular uprising. Beneath the volcano, the beach, decisively.

"Sous le volcan" by Leslie Mannès:

voodoo ceremony, sharp-witted adventurers, rebellious captives... In an incredible ritual of togetherness and infinite movement, Leslie Mannès and her four high-flying Sisyphuses delivered a lesson in contagious energy and resilience in the face of adversity. Doing,
redoing, inventing, transforming... and rising from the ashes. Impeccable in its message and a breath of fresh air.

"Sous le volcan", Mamgmatic movements

With Sous le volcan, Leslie Mannès plunges us into an organized chaos showing the evolution of our rituals. In a succession of danced tableaux, the choreographer and partner-artist of Théâtre Varia creates a spellbinding work that evokes the power of “togetherness”.

"Sous le volcan", the utopias of Leslie Mannès

With her latest creation, choreographer Leslie Mannès takes us into a ritual where bodies metamorphose from mystical individuality to minimalist uniformity. If the message is ambiguous, the strength of this show lies in its hypnotic dance and music.

"Sous le volcan" to rebuild the collective
